Guest Expert #6: Katie Blakesley and Design Walls

This week’s tip is from me, Katie Blakesley, your Summer Quilt Along Host.

About 18 months ago, I decided that I wanted a really big design wall. I’ve sewn in my living room, in my bedroom, and in a dedicated sewing room, and I’ve had different design walls in all of these spaces, some portable, some attached to the wall. Read more about how my dad and  I built my design wall here. 

Summer Sampler 2019 ‘s theme was Piecing Bootcamp--its the one quilt that is always on my couch. These two blocks were designed by me for the Sampler. Check it out if you are looking for a challenge or to improve your piecing skills.
